Chapter 652: Alfie's Ambition
The battlefield outside the fortress has temporarily entered a stalemate stage, the mechanical spiders are unable to crack the "fish sea tactics" of the fish-man defenders, and they are trapped in it and cannot launch an effective attack on the already fragile fortress;
Alfie is still relatively satisfied with the current situation, there is no strong offensive means, he only hopes to delay a little longer, until the good news comes from Kocona.
"Hmph, hurry up and use the death ray! I'll let you taste the taste of the death ray yourself!" Alfi stared at the mechanical spider's every move, how to deal with the inevitable death ray, Alfi already had a plan in his heart.
He even had a little hope now, hoping that those mechanical spiders would use this "trick" sooner. If his calculations are correct, when those mechanical spiders use the death ray, it will be the moment when he completely disposes of the mechanical spiders.
Alfie didn't wait long, and the stalemate on the battlefield was quickly broken by the fish-man defenders blessed by various war songs. Buoyed by the Song of Power, the Fish-Man defenders grew stronger than before, and after a large wave of fish-people crawled onto them along the long legs of the mechanical spiders, a small group of fish-people finally came to their senses.
Under the leadership of this group of fishmen, the fishmen stopped their senseless harassment of the mechanical spiders, after all, the fishmen's weapons could not be blessed by the war song, and compared to the hard armor of the mechanical spiders, their weapons left a few innocuous scratches on the metal shell of the mechanical spiders. The fish people began to work rhythmically in the same direction, and their purpose was simple, which was to overturn the metal spiders.
I don't know which fish-man came up with this "good solution", probably in the perception of the fish-people, the mechanical spider is the same as the creature with a hard shell like the demon turtle, and is most afraid of being turned upside down.
The fish have a lot of strength, and after trying a few times, the fish people found the trick, and one after another the mechanical spiders were turned over by the fish people's belly up.
"Sure enough, the intelligence of these mechanical spiders is only at the rudimentary level. Alfie, who had long since discovered what the fish-people were doing, had a joyful attitude towards the fish-men's spontaneous tactics, and in this way he wanted to figure out the extent of the mechanical spider's intelligence.
The results of the test made Alfie satisfied, if the mechanical spider intelligence of these owners was comparable to that of humans, even if they did not possess the power of the Sanctuary, it would be enough to give Alfie a headache.
The eight slender metal legs of the overturned mechanical spider kicked in vain into the air, seemingly unable to turn itself over again. As for the fish that used to hold on to the metal legs, the people had already retreated far away when the mechanical spider was turned over. The power of the desperately struggling mechanical spider burst out at this time, and the fish people could no longer resist it just by the inspiration of the song of power.
"Well, it's almost time. Alfie noticed that the mechanical spider struggled in vain for a moment, curled up all of its long metal legs, and his eyes began to glow red, knowing that his long-awaited deathray was about to appear.
"Luli (retreat)!" Alfie, acting cautiously, gave the order to retreat to the fish-man defenders. Although he calculated that the death rays emitted by the mechanical spiders would never have a chance to hurt the fishmen, Alfie still didn't want to take any risks, after all, he had extremely limited chips in his hands right now, and he would lose all his money if he was not careful.
One of the most satisfying things about the fish-man defenders was their absolute obedience to orders, and as soon as Alfie's order was given, the fishmen all retreated to the walls of the fortress, and they had already found their own hiding places without his further orders.
Alfie never imagined that this inconspicuous fish-man army could also be able to enforce orders and prohibitions, which is a trait that many commanders and generals dream of. If it weren't for the fact that Alfie had always felt that this fish-man army really had an inexplicable oddity, he would have really wanted to take this army out for training. Not to mention, in terms of military discipline, it is at least much stronger than the ragtag army in Camp Calus.
Seeing that the fishmen had hidden themselves, Alfie began to chant a ninth-level water magic in the fish-man language. This is the "Fishman Language" water magic he learned from Koko. Ever since discovering that he could use magic in the language of the fish-man, he had stolen a lot from Koco along the way.
However, the unfortunate point is that if Alfie wants to use water magic, he must convert his life force into water through the Demon Notes, and after finding that his life force is stretched, Alfi completely dispels the idea of "changing jobs" to become a water magician.
Just kidding, he's not an elf or a dragon, he's got a long life. He and Koco had calculated that based on a human's normal vitality of about two hundred years, using a twelve-level water magic spell would be enough to consume ten years of life force.
Poor Alfie's current vitality can no longer be extravagant to be counted in years, and it is no longer counted in months. Luckily, inspired by sharing divine magic with Celent through the Star Magic Array, Alfie and Koco discovered that he could also borrow the power of the water elemental from Koko, although the cost was much greater than borrowing Serent's divine power, but it could still come in handy in an emergency.
"Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on this time!Although the consumption is a little bigger, but Koko is already a sacred realm, it should be no problem, right?" After Alfi finished chanting the spell of the ice crystal technique, he looked at the phantom of an ice crystal shield slowly condensed in front of each mechanical spider, and his heart settled down a lot, at least for now, his plan was successful.
I have to admit that Alfie has great ambitions, in fact, he can set up an ice crystal shield in front of the fortress to resist the death rays of all mechanical spiders, don't look at the ice crystal technique on the surface is only level nine, but Alfie has added a lot of "fierce materials" to it, such as the light divine power that he has silently attracted through the sacred hymn for a long time.
With the blessing of the light divine power, the ice crystal shield condensed by the ice crystal technique could not block the death ray at all. No matter how powerful the death ray is, it is just a man-made weapon, and compared to the light divine power, it is not a level of power at all.
But in order to take this opportunity to solve the threat of mechanical spiders in one fell swoop, Alfi manipulated the ice crystal technique to create an ice crystal shield in front of each mechanical spider, don't look at it as a phantom now, it is just that Alfie does not want to expose the ice crystal shield prematurely but the enemy is prepared, and the moment before the death ray is launched, these ice crystal shields as bright as a mirror will appear in front of the mechanical spiders, reflect the death rays back, and completely destroy these mechanical spiders.
